Jasmine Homestay Darjeeling

Eight rooms of Jasmine Homestay Darjeeling sit in Bhalutar Busty above Chowki Dara, a quiet ridge settlement in Sonada roughly thirty minutes from central Darjeeling — a base suited to travellers wanting tea-garden views over town congestion.

Each room opens onto a shared balcony framed by the Kanchenjunga range on clear mornings; electric blankets and kettles handle the hill chill better than central heating would. Meals run family-style from a shared kitchen, with packed lunches available for early treks.

Bike tours and walking tours are arranged from the property itself, and the outdoor fireplace and terrace give the compound a common gathering point after dark.
